Decided, possibly against my better judgement, to go with the DEI for a couple reasons; Mainly I'm like a kid in a candy store right now and want the immediate satisfaction of installing, save about $230, stumbled upon a Corsa Cat-Back exhaust for $450, so got that instead of coating.

I'll post pictures of the wrap job when I'm done (first time so we will see how it goes) but for now here's some "arrival" pics.

The thing really is gorgeous.
That header looks identical in every way to my Tomei Expreme UEL header. The merge collecter, the flanges, the weld points, the connecting bars on the longer primaries, and everything. Check it out in Google images, they are the same in every way. I bet they are made by the same factory. I left mine unwrapped, because it's winter, but come summer I will probably wrap it with that volcanic glass stuff. I've used it before and it only smells for the first week or so, and only smokes the first day.
